    indoor skittles. the penguins game with Stuart hall was unforgettable, one man and his dog, pro celebrity golf, superstars (Keegan coming of his bike and getting flayed is all I remember that for. Wrestling with Kent Walton with stars as Iron man logan, Les kellet, Jacky apollo (a puff) Giant haystacks, Kendo Nagasaki (masked) Mick McManus, Billy two rivers and more. the old gannies were in the front row jumping up and getting exited !.

    Penguins game with Stuart Hall... I hope for the Penguin's sake they were all adult penguins.

    I think that was Jacky Pallo......or Mr.TV Jacky Pallo as he was billed before TV meant transvestite.
    Do you remember Jimmy Saville was a pro wrestler as well?

    No Gelders the wrestling was on ITV s. World of Sport, they brought that programme out to compete with Grandstand, in my opinion it came a very poor second.

    To call professional wrestling a sport is surely a contradiction..

    It was Jackie Pallo, but Monty's version's better <laugh> . . . . and he wasn't a woofter, as Monty suggested :emoticon-0145-shake

    I didn't know that The Fixer was a wrestler as well as a paedo :emoticon-0112-wonde

    He often almost cowped his rocky chair with excitement.

    Whats not to like about it. Them 2 big daft ****ers going at it every week. Everyone loved big daddy. The raging puff. Haystacks was the man.

    Young and old. It was great fun.

    Ive seen the WWE a few times. Great shows. Funny as ****.
